Trying to add an inventory icon to an existing item that doesn't have one

[Lugon]

So I added a crafting recipe for the accursed trinket and its working fine, but for some reason it doesn't have an icon on the crafting menu and I can't seem to be able to add one the same way I added one to my custom items. I'm guessing that since the trinket has like 5 different possible inventory icons the game just doesn't know what to do with the crafting menu?

Any help with getting an icon to show up there would be much appreciated.

I guess since the image file name doesn't match the prefab name, you can add these to your crafting recipe
cursed_beads1, cursed_beads2, cursed_beads3, cursed_beads4

Where exactly would I add it?

I tried using this before:

local cursed_monkey_token_recipe = AddRecipe2("cursed_beads4", {Ingredient("rope", 1), Ingredient("houndstooth", 2), Ingredient("palmcone_scale", 2)}, TECH.NONE, {numtogive = 1}, {"CHARACTER"})

But then all it does it show the icon, when you try crafting it nothing happens. Also I probably need a way for the cursed_monkey_token prefab itself to use the icon since I'm using it on other recipes and that spot also shows up empty. I was trying to use AddPrefabPostInit to specify the crafting menu icon but I don't know what it is that I need to change or even if its possible at all make it work like that.

Using RegisterInventoryItemAtlas also doesn't work.

It removed the trinket from the menu initially but I tried it like this:

{image = "cursed_beads4.tex", numtogive = 1}

And it worked for the main recipe! Thank you!

But that issue I mentioned before is still there, when I try using it as an ingredient the icon still shows up empty.

I tried it and it still works fine, try despawn your character

AddPrefabPostInit("cursed_monkey_token", function(inst)
	if not GLOBAL.TheWorld.ismastersim then
		return inst
	end
	inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/someatlasname.xml"
	inst.components.inventoryitem.imagename = "cursed_monkey_token"
end)

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by 'despawn your character' here. I tried adding this to my modmain and it just made it invisible when it's in my inventory I also tried using a custem item's xml there and different image names to test it but nothing worked for me.

This is what it looks like right now:

 

Sorry if I'm being dumb also, I'm very new to modding and I really appreciate the help.

Hm... I checked but don't really know how to fix it but I have this, choose 1 of the 4 icons in this zip file and change it to cursed_monkey_token

RegisterInventoryItemAtlas(GLOBAL.resolvefilepath("images/inventoryimages/namehere.xml"), "cursed_monkey_token.tex")

Can't get it to work 

I guess I'll just make a new item with the attributes I want and replace the in-game trinket with my new one...

But thanks for all the help!

Wherever you use the Accursed Trinket as an ingredient, write it like this:

Ingredient("cursed_monkey_token", 1, nil, nil, "cursed_beads4.tex")

Bro theres no way... when I tried RegisterInventoryAtlas before all of it was just returning blank, but after looking at yours I managed to figure that it turns out it was just the image I was using for the tex file that for some reason wasn't valid??

So I just remade the image the exact same way I did before but this time it works everywhere...

Omg I ALSO tried this and failed before because I just used Ingredient("cursed_monkey_token", 1, "cursed_beads4.tex"). That's what I get for not knowing proper syntax lmao

But all issues seem to be resolved now! Thanks for the help guys
